You're basing this off of a sample gathered in 1929, or off of a sample of those buildings that survived until 2010 ?

My house here in FL was built in 80 and its cinder block, as are probably upwards of 90% of the homes here. I dunno...something kinda permanent about a cinder block with concrete poured in home.

And that is why I'm playing general contractor on mine. I'm pretty sure it will be there for 50+ years modulo earthquake, fire, or Boogaloo.

And in some ways this is arguably for the best. After 30 years there's probably good reason to demolish and rebuild. Almost nobody gonna live in the house for that long. Building to last is overrated when technology and styles change over time.

In the US, this may be true. In my last town the PUB was older than the US. Every 19th century 'jerry-built' tenement in North London that wasn't bombed in the war or demolished after is still in use.

Fascinating. US has a history of being capital poor but with high ROI on tons of possible investments, so the right move was often to build quick and cheap. Early train routes and bridges were often shockingly terrible, and replaced 10 years later with profits from early yrs.
